Cresselia on offense is a new trend that provides offense with a much appreciate pivot into strong threats such as Mega Lopunny or Mega Alakazam. It also provides Thunder Wave and Lunar Dance support, two great things offense greatly appreciates. Swords Dance Weavile can be a powerful surprise and can tear through unprepared teams especially after weakening some threats such as Clefable or Ferrothorn. Excadrill provides a valuable pivot and utility with both rocks and rapid spin. Mega Daincie is a powerful threat that is hard to switch into and comes with immediate damage without the need to set up. Mega Diancie's Magic Bounce is also noteworthy in giving the team tools to keep rocks off, which is helpful in a rocks-weak team such as this. More importantly, it can come in on Cofagrigus and prevent it from using toxic spikes, something Excadrill without Toxic or Swords Dance can struggle to remove against Cofagrgius. Modest Volcanion is already quite difficult to switch into as its coverage is strong, but with substitute it also allows it to sit on pokemon such as Slowbro or Cresselia that often lack a way to break sub. Finally, and finishing off the team, is Dragonite. Its unique typing allows it to check some offensive threats such as Serperior or Volcarona. It uses Inner Focus here to lure in Fake Out users such as Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham only to kill them. If successfully pulled off, Weavile can go rampant. Other options on this team include making Dragonite Multiscale and potentially using Outrage or Dragon Claw. Another is making Weavile CB with Pursuit or Low Kick. This team can struggle with stall as Chansey can sit on multiple users of this team. This team can also live or die by surprise factor, so be sure to switch up your sets from time to time to mix up your opponent!
